Blogging as art...

Content is nothing, style is all. 

Just attempting to come to terms with the layout tools 
 for this blog site, but it's not going to be easy. 
I'll try importing an illustration from my Etsy shop... 












The massive stone buildings are in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain - my apartment is on the right - not the whole thing! 




Well, that worked, but I don't want the text here, and there seems to be no way to change  the size of images - 
 how annoying. Actually it looks better when it's published as a blog so I'm probably making a fuss about nothing. 
After all, it's a blog, not a work of art! 

My graphic work


I have been spending time starting up my Etsy shop to promote and sell my graphic work. Etsy is an online shopping experience like no other and made me realise just how many creative people there are in the world. If you've never been there go to my shop first (of course!) then have a look -

I've been using some old postcards with lovely stamps and franking marks that we don't see much now.
This print is an example.

I really like this old Russian watchface, but I can't work out 
how to control the layout on this blog - 
nothing stays where it's put!
The ultimate frustration for a graphic designer...any help out there?
